X-ray imaging apparatus

Abstract

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a portable X-ray imaging apparatus including an X-ray plane detection unit and a carrying handle unit, and a positioning member configured to position a photographing center of the storage unit and a photographing center of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus by deviating a position of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus stored in the storage unit by an offset of the handle unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
 a storage unit configured to store a portable X-ray imaging apparatus including an X-ray plane detection unit and a carrying handle unit; and   a positioning member configured to position a photographing center of the storage unit and a photographing center of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus by deviating a position of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus stored in the storage unit by an offset of the handle unit.   
     
     
         2 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle unit is disposed on a long side of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus. 
     
     
         3 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a part of the handle unit is configured to be stored in the portable X-ray imaging apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the positioning member is disposed on a side surface facing a side surface including the handle unit with the plane detection unit sandwiched between the positioning member and the handle unit. 
     
     
         5 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the portable X-ray imaging apparatus includes an outlet opening of a cable on the side surface including the handle unit, and
 wherein an offset by the outlet opening of the cable is smaller than that by the handle unit.   
     
     
         6 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the storage unit has a width and a depth of a long side length of the portable X-ray imaging apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The X-ray imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the storage unit is configured to store a first detection unit including a plane perpendicular to X-ray incidence, the plane having a long side with a length of L and a short side with a length of W, and a second detection unit including a plane perpendicular to X-ray incidence, the plane having a long side with a length of L and a short side with a length equal to or less than (W/2+L/2) and including a handle having a width equal to or less than (L−W)/2. 
     
     
         8 . A storage apparatus for an X-ray imaging apparatus, the storage apparatus comprising:
 a storage unit configured to store a portable X-ray imaging apparatus including an X-ray plane detection unit and a carrying handle unit;   a holding member configured to hold the portable X-ray imaging apparatus in the storage unit; and   an adjusting unit configured to adjust a position of the holding member by an offset of the handle unit.
